Huge farmhouse near Coventry to appear in auction

A huge former farmhouse standing in more than four acres of grounds near Coventry will go under the hammer at SDL Auctions Bigwood’s next auction in Birmingham on Wednesday 18 October.

The five bedroomed property on Bennetts Road North in Corley has been converted into three self-contained units called Grove Farm, The Annex and The Hayloft, and has a *guide price of £595,000 to £645,000+.

Gurpreet Bassi, head of residential auctions at SDL Auctions, said: “This is an exceptional property and could either be used as three units or could easily be converted back into a single dwelling.

“This lot would make an excellent opportunity either as an investment purchase or as a luxury executive home, and we expect strong interest at our auction.”

Meanwhile, two properties that are thought to be the lowest priced flat and house on sale in the Midlands are also included in the auction catalogue.

The flat is on the first floor at 26 Bromford Close, 152 Church Lane in Handsworth, Birmingham, and comes with a *guide price of just £15,000 to £19,000+.

And the house is a three bedroomed terrace at 51 Leamore Lane in Walsall, in need of a complete refurbishment but with a guide price of only £19,000 to £24,000+.

Mr Bassi added: “These are great examples from a total of 130 lots at what we predict will be a busy auction next month.

“We have a wide range of properties available: all types of flats and houses, a number of plots of land for development and a good choice of commercial properties across the West Midlands and beyond.”

Another Warwickshire property at the auction is a two bedroomed end-of-terrace house at 27 Dale Street in Rugby, with a guide price in excess of £50,000+.

And from nearby Solihull is a two bedroomed semi-detached house at 79 Longdon Road in Knowle, with a guide price in excess of £200,000+.
